I don't envy the committee making that decision, that's for sure. I can see both sides of the argument.

The Bubble is pleased with two late-breaking results, Messiah taking care of Lycoming in the MAC Commonwealth finals and John Carroll's 5th year senior Shmoo Pryor (Shmoo!!!) hitting a three with four seconds left to take down Ohio Northern in the OAC title game.

East Conn beats UMD in overtime for the LEC title. If it's UMD vs SJC for the last bid...wow, that would be close. I think I'd have to go Corsairs if pressed.

Tremendous finish coming up in the SUNYAC. New Paltz has erased a sizable deficit to tie Geneseo with 7 seconds left......overtime. A great look from deep rattles out for Geneseo at the buzzer.

Elsewhere, Haverford blows out Gettysburg to bring a 3-bid Centennial Conference closer to reality and quite possibly shrink the bubble one spot. I had the Fords as one of the last teams out prior to championship week.

New Paltz wins by 6 in overtime. The Hawks probably would have been in regardless, but the Knights, ehhhhhh I dunno. It'll be a nervous day and a half at the very least for them now.

Both lost at home in the conference finals to teams they had beaten once earlier in the year at home (and in Dartmouth's case playing twice and winning the road game @ Eastern as well).  Seeing as how St. Joes was #4 in the last ranking and Dartmouth was #8, I don't see how St. Joes will end up behind Dartmouth, so it won't come to that point.  I think Middlebury actually gets sandwiched between the 2 so Dartmouth is never even at the table for discussion vs. the other 6 regions.  I'm still sticking with my projections from last night: NE gets 3 pool C bids: The Tufts/Bowdoin loser, Amherst & the St. Joes Monks.  Middlebury will be next in line, but they never make it off the table.

This is it! The regular season is over. The conference titles have been handed out and 86 teams know they will be playing next week in the NCAA Division III men's and women's Championship Tournaments!

However, 42 slots need to be filled. Which programs have best positioned themselves to selected to play for a national title?

It is the biggest show of the year. Bubble teams watch anxiously. Rivals watch wondering if their rivals will make the event. Others watch because ... this is one of the best nights of the entire season.

Tune in a special episode of Hoopsville where we will make our mock selections of who will be in and who will be left out of the DIII national tournaments. Our teams of experts will make the picks using the same criteria the national committees consider.

Plus, hear, one last time before the brackets are announced, from the national committee chairs who discuss how this year's rankings and process have worked out. And hear from some teams who have already punched their tickets to the tournaments - many for the first time in program history!

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Sunday's special will hit the air at 6:00 p.m. ET right here: http://bit.ly/2XuWjWa (or via Facebook Live or Periscope simulcasts).

The Division III basketball regular season has officially entered it's final month. Where has the time gone?

Seems like a perfect time to take a break for lunch. Chat about what is ahead and teams which have positioned themselves well to still be playing next month.

Thursday on Hoopsville (at a special time), we chat with not only a few of Top 25 programs, but also a team that has seemingly come out of nowhere to be contending in one of the more difficult conferences.

Things are heating up in Division III as the first set of Regional Rankings are due out next week.

We also take a look at the women's Top 25 poll. What changes might we see this week with not only one of the bigger in-season upsets in recent history, but also a number of other interesting results from the week before. And yes, we will chat about the men's Top 25 as well.

Women's first Regional Rankings released.

https://www.d3hoops.com/notables/2020/02/women-regional-rankings-first

In the South:

  • Looks like the ASC is in excellent shape for a Pool C bid
  • Looks like the only way the SCAC could earn one would be for Austin to defeat Trinity in the SCAC final, assuming both go undefeated the rest of the way, Trinity might stay high enough to nab one

Really was expecting Austin to be ranked; probably would be had they not lost unexpectedly to Southwestern.   That at the low SOS ...

Of course there are still two weeks to play  ;)

And more data to be added that wasn't used this week. :)

The first Regional Rankings of the season are out and there are plenty of reactions ... and questions.

On Thursday's Hoopsville, we chat with a few programs who are in those rankings and others who know the best way into the NCAA tournaments is to win their conference. Plus, we find out how a fast break is a solid investment in giving back. And do you really understand the Strength of Schedule math and what is does, and does not, tell the ranking committees?

Thanks for posting this link. I've seen a lot of games in the East Region and was curious to see the standings - it seems like there is overwhelming support for the SUNY conference with 4 of the 8 teams ranked being from that one conference.  The only other region that seems to have something similar to this is the NESCAC and they don't even occupy half of the standings, they are 5 of 12 ranked teams...surprising because the SUNY Conference isn't necessarily a powerhouse conference. Buffalo State, ranked #8, is 14-10 and 1-6 in region having lost their last 3 games...wile the Liberty League has only 2 teams ranked and the Empire8 1 team in the standings (St. Lawrence from the Liberty league is 16-7 and 2-3 in region and are 10-2 over the last 12 games with wins against Ithaca and Vassar who are both ranked). Seems like there should be more consideration for other leagues. That last ranked spot for Buffalo State is giving the other SUNY teams wins in region. Nazareth of the Empire8 beat Buffalo State by 12 head to head and is 16-8 overall. I'm curious to know how Buffalo State was selected for the #8 spot and who decides these rankings for each region?
